Flood Hazard Assessment Consultant
1. Project Background
Pakistan is vulnerable to a large number of natural as well as man-made disasters. The
country has experienced a wide range of such events including earthquakes, floods, droughts,
tsunamis, landslides, GLOF, avalanches and among such, which resulted in heavy loss of
precocious human lives and economy. These risks are further aggravated by rapid
urbanization, climate change, increasing industrialization, encroachment of flood plains, lack
of safer land use planning etc. Moreover, the country is one of the most flood-prone regions
in South Asia. Some major historical floods which hit the country occurred in 1950, 1973,
1978, 1988, 1992, 1998, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. In particular,
the floods in 2010 and 2011 caused heavy damages and losses amounting to US$10 billion
and US$3.7 billion, respectively.
National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has formulated Project Management
Unit (PMU) for execution and monitoring of Multi Hazard and Vulnerability Risk

during disasters which could have otherwise being averted with better mitigation and
preparedness planning.

44 man working days stretched over a period of Two months from the date of
signing contract.
3. Scope of Work and Outputs
a. Carry out risk indexing based on risk analysis for defining potential UC wise risks
severity index, their root cause and current practices.
b. Analyze the existing and proposed interventions related to hazards
mitigations/interventions in the hazards prone localities of the study area.
c. Perform cost effectiveness analysis on the basis of interventions proposed, cost
benefit analysis on existing and ongoing DRR interventions.
d. Make an assessment of the potential cost after consultation with the stakeholders,
in order to interface the DRR activities into local planning, taking in account the
perception and aspiration of the target communities.
e. Evaluate local capacity of the communities to implement, operate and maintain
the DRR related interventions.
f. Organize two days hands on training workshop for MHVRA project staff and
relevant agencies to introduce CBA and CE applications for future planning,
maps, models, and datasets as well as methodology.
g. Hand over all associated data sets to PMU-NDMA on prescribed format given in
MHVRA standard guidelines.
4. Deliverables
a) Based on the MHVRA guidelines consultant will be required to submit inception
report based on desk review including methodology, process, and detail work
plan for cost benefit analysis.
b) All geospatial data, primary and secondary data, survey data and spatial data must
be submitted along with final report.
c) Prior to the acceptance of final report all comments and feedbacks from NDMAPMU team will be incorporated in the study.
d) Consultant will attend meetings as per the requirement of project, in addition a
biweekly performance review meeting will be held at NDMA.
e) Consultant is bound to provide activity progress on daily man days based on
Podio software/Google Progress sheet.
5. Required Skills
a. M.S/M.Phil in Economics, Statistics, Civil Engineering or relevant discipline.
b. Minimum 6 years relevant professional experience in the field of economic
analysis, implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and risk assessment
including design, execution and management of multi hazard and vulnerability
assessments at regional, national and local level.
c. Relevant theoretical and practical experience in financial & economic analysis, in
particular cost benefit analysis and cost effectiveness analysis of DRR
interventions.
d. Should have experience of conducting at least two similar exercises in past with
proven track record.
e. Should have strong knowledge of catastrophe / disaster elevation

Term of Reference (ToRs)
Urban Hazard Assessment Consultant
1. Project Background
Pakistan is vulnerable to a large number of natural as well as man-made disasters. The
country has experienced a wide range of such events including earthquakes, floods, droughts,
tsunamis, landslides, GLOF, avalanches and among such, which resulted in a heavy loss of
precocious human lives and economy. These risks are further aggravated by rapid
urbanization, climate change, increasing industrialization, encroachment of flood plains, lack
of safer land use planning etc.
National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has formulated Project Management
Unit (PMU) for execution and monitoring of Multi Hazard and Vulnerability Risk
Assessment (MHVRA) exercises in the country. The aim of PMU is to regulate MHVRA
exercises nationwide. Further, to maintain unanimity all across the board, the development
of National MHVRA Methodologies/Guidelines and designing of National MHVRA
database will facilitate replication of the same sets standard and methodology for all
stakeholders to be followed in order to develop a clear National Risk Picture. In this regard,
with support of WFP, PMU-NDMA is undertaking MHVRA study in five districts of
Central and Southern Punjab.
MHVRA exercise will provide solid foundation for outlining DRR interventions,
mainstreaming DRR and safer land use planning. The exercise includes gathering and
analyzing of hazard information and development of future scenarios based on frequency,
magnitude and spatial extent of likely events.
2. Objective of the Assignment
The main objective of the assignment is to examine hazard situations in the region with
special reference to urban areas, proper land use planning, monitoring of critical
infrastructure and vulnerable localities (living in flood plains, slopes, slums. The secondary
aim of the study is to evaluate the existing and future urban sprawls in term of hazard
zonation.
a. Geographic Extent
Detailed urban planning assessment will be carried out in five selected districts
(Jhang, Multan, Bahawalpur, Khushab and Rahim Yar Khan) of Central and
Southern Punjab (study extend up to UC level)
b. Assignment Duration
44 man working days stretched over a period of two months from the date of
signing contract.
3. Scope of the Assignment
a. Review of all structural designs and necessary structural drawings and
specifications, including components related to construction/rehabilitation for
the critical infrastructure.
b. Identify possible interventions with respect to role of local municipalities to
minimize impacts of urban floods ( local flood, drainage)
c. Evaluate and carry out detailed investigation of the existing information available
(geotechnical, topographical and structural etc), wherever necessary.
d. Analyze compliance of applicable building codes as per building code of Pakistan
(sample basis), with specific focus on compliance on seismic resistant
requirements for essential infrastructure.
e. Prepare urban hazard maps to assist the MHVRA team in visualization of densely
populated and vulnerable urban areas exposed to various hazards, in order to
steer urban development in the project areas.
f. Identify core infrastructure needs in line with spatial development scenarios,
transport links, power, and drainage, to address the current and future needs of
the project area population.
g. Carry out analysis (minimum 15 years) in growth rate of urban center in terms of
their spatial expansion using remote sensing and GIS technologies.
